King's Landing [Rebirth]

Wang Yu wished he could arrest Yu Mao and cut him down immediately. Unfortunately, the enemy was outnumbered, and after a long time, it was inevitable that he would be unable to do what he wanted. Although he had heard the sound of horseshoes, the pursuers were still a little far away. Well, this trip will be a waste of effort, and if he has an extra nephew, it will be too late to regret it.

Yu Mao was reluctant to escape, and Wang Yufang was also reluctant to let go. Standing in the rain, he watched their fleeing back and gritted his teeth.

Seeing Sima Rong withdraw the dagger silently, Wang Shuzhi raised his hand to wipe away the fine raindrops on his face, pulled him forward, and asked, "Why hasn't Uncle returned to Jingzhou? Yanqing sent someone to deliver a letter to you, can you?" Received?"

Wang Yuchao glanced at Sima Rong, but because of the darkness of the night, he didn't notice his gesture of withdrawing his hand without a trace, he just asked in confusion, "What letter?"

Wang Shuzhi was a little surprised: "Naturally, I told my uncle about the situation in Beijing. He left the city earlier than us, so the word that should have been passed on should have reached us long ago."

"I haven't received it yet." Wang Yu frowned, his fists creaked, and he snorted coldly, "It seems that Yu Mao, that traitor, cut him off halfway. It was a good idea to hit him, and almost caught him." way!"

The current situation made people feel hatred in their hearts, coupled with the continuous rain, it was oppressive, the three of them fell into silence, each with their own thoughts, until the rescuers came after them and brought them back to the tent, they took a breath of relief.

Wang Yu was so angry that he didn't care about changing the wet clothes on his body, so he went straight to the case and sat down heavily.

Sima Rong stood by Wang Shuzhi's side, looked up at Wang Chongzhi who had opened the curtain, scanned his face, quickly lowered his eyes to cover the hatred in his eyes, and clenched his hands into fists in his sleeves. He was too heavy, his body seemed a little stiff, and his arms trembled slightly.

Although he was lucky enough to be reborn three years ago, everything could start from scratch, but the fact that he was killed in his previous life would not be erased from his mind.Speaking of hatred, he hated quite a few people, including Yu Shi, Fuhuang, Wang Yu, Wang Chongzhi, and many more... But he never hoped that he would be bound by hatred so that his eyes would not be covered with dust and he would make mistakes.

In this life, the Wang family has no enmity with him, but the moment he saw Wang Zhongzhi, he still inevitably recalled the sharp pain of being pierced by a sword in his heart. All the hatred that had been held for 20 years came out from the depths of my mind.

Wang Shuzhi noticed it immediately, looked at him sideways, and saw that his face was pale, he quickly raised his hand to touch his forehead, it seemed a little hot, his heart tightened suddenly, and he said to the guard beside him: "Hurry up and get a dry pine bag." clothes."

"Yes."

"Make some more ginger soup."

"Yes."

Wang Shuzhi grabbed Sima Rong's wrist and pulled him inside: "Yan Qing, hurry up and change your wet clothes."

Sima Rong's rare obedience was because he was indeed very tired. He hadn't had a good rest for two consecutive days and nights, and was drenched in rain for a long time. Although Yuan Sheng's body was much stronger than his own, it was not made of iron after all. If Wang Shuzhi hadn't opened his mouth, he would never have realized that the chill on his body was not entirely due to hatred, but was indeed a little bit too much for his body.

Wang Yu and his son didn't have the extra energy to notice the unusual intimacy between the two of them at the moment, they just glanced at them casually and fell into deep thought.

Wang Zhongzhi said: "Father, are we going back to Jingzhou now?"

"No! What are you going back to Jingzhou for?" Wang Yu said angrily, "The emperor declared us to enter the capital with an edict, and then said that we were rebellious. Why should we be so cowardly? Since he said we rebelled, then he would !"

Sima Rong paused, looked sideways at Wang Shuzhi: "What does the prime minister think?"

"Not right." Wang Shuzhi shook his head, seeing him turn around as if he was about to go back, he hastily pulled him back, with a helpless smile in his eyes, "It's not yet dawn, this matter is not urgent, you change it first." Let’s talk about the clothes.”

Wang Yu said bitterly: "That guy Yu Mao has already fled back to the capital, we can't delay, so we will break out of the camp and rush to the capital overnight to give them a surprise attack!"

When Sima Rong heard this, he stopped in his tracks again, broke free from Wang Shuzhi's hand, turned around and walked back: "This trip is not right, I hope Da Sima think twice!"

Wang Zhongzhi looked at him and saw that although he was thoroughly drenched by the rain from head to toe, he didn't appear to be in the slightest bit downcast, so he couldn't help adding a bit of judgment: "You are?"

Wang Yu didn't wait for Sima Rong to reply, and snorted coldly: "A servant next to Shuzhi doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth." His words were quite disdainful.

Sima Rong ignored his cynicism, just looked at him indifferently, and said calmly: "If the emperor intends to frame the great Sima, he must make complete preparations early on, and as far as I know, the emperor's deployment of troops late at night is a temporary move. , emergency measures, it can be seen that he does not know that Da Sima is going to attack the capital, the imperial decree may be tampered with by someone, if Da Sima really leads troops to go, he will fall into the trap of traitors, and must not act impulsively."

Wang Yu frowned and stared at him for a long while, then looked at Wang Shuzhi: "Where did this person come from? What is the intention of repeatedly saying something to stop my arrangement? Speaking of which, you always know people clearly, so don't be careless Let him be fooled."

Sima Rong didn't change his expression: "Elder Sima thinks what I said is wrong? Last time I suggested that Eunuch Sima stay on standby in Jingzhou and General Yu lead the army. Is it wrong?"

Wang Yu let him choke and snorted coldly.

Wang Shuzhi shook his head and smiled, grabbed Sima Rong's hand and squeezed it to comfort him, then let it go again: "Uncle, you have prejudice against Yan Qing, but you should listen to what I say? Attacking the capital means treason, its meaning It is no small matter, and you must not act recklessly."

Wang Yu said with a sullen face: "There is no need to say too much about this matter. I know it well. The emperor may indeed be used. The culprit is that treacherous villain Yu Mao. But if the emperor is not stupid and incompetent, how could Yu Mao succeed? What's more , Your Majesty’s suspicion of our Wang family is increasing day by day, and he repeatedly thinks of weakening my military power, which is simply revenge! Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to take this opportunity to turn against him!" Then he stood up, ready to give an order.

Wang Shuzhi hurriedly stopped him, and turned to look at Wang Chongzhi: "Cousin also planned this way?"

Wang Zhongzhi's face was solemn, he was also a rough man, but he was not as violent as Wang Yu, he thought for a while, and said: "Father, the court is no better than the battlefield. On the battlefield, we all follow your arrangements, but the affairs of the court , it is safer to listen to what is said.”

Seeing his statement, Wang Shuzhi smiled a little. He looked at Wang Yu and said, "Uncle, why not go around the battalions to see if their morale is as high as when they went north? We have 20 troops on hand, which is indeed more powerful than those in Beijing. There are many, but the 20 army is exhausted from the expedition, and now they have just rested after the victory, and their morale is even more loose, not to mention that there is not much food and grass left, so what are the chances of winning if we attack the capital like this?"

Wang Yu paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and finally walked back to the front of the case and said: "You are right, I will give an order to call the Jingzhou army to come to support!"

Wang Shuzhi was used to his stubbornness, so he didn't take it seriously. He took out the pen in his hand, saw his frowning, and said with a smile: "Uncle, have you ever thought about what to do after you invade the capital? Although the emperor is stupid, he has never been angry. At this point, if our Wang family replaces it, how can there be so many great families in the world who will sit idly by? No matter whether they are out of righteousness or selfishness, they will definitely unite to deal with us."

Wang Zhongzhi frowned and nodded: "What you said is reasonable. At present, many aristocratic families are watching from the sidelines. The emperor has nothing to do with them. It is really not easy to compete with us only with the power of the Sima family. But once the palace changes, the situation will be out of control. Then We will be very passive."

Sima Rong listened to what they said with deep eyes, and his heart was tense.

Regarding such an earth-shattering event, they discussed it very calmly. It seems that seeking to usurp the throne is not serious in Wang's eyes, and it is definitely not a temporary whim. Presumably Wang Yu really had this intention long ago.

Wang Yu was so angry that he didn't listen to the persuasion at all. He raised his voice and called the soldiers at the gate in, and ordered decisively: "Break out the camp! Go to the capital overnight!"

Sima Rong's complexion changed slightly.

Wang Shuzhi hurriedly said: "Uncle! Both my cousin and I think this is not going to work. Do you want to go your own way?"

Wang Yu was furious, and waved the inkstone to the ground with a flick of his sleeve: "He is not benevolent and I am not righteous! If there was no help from our Wang family back then, would their Sima family have been able to secure the throne in Jiangdong? As the saying goes , Now that the rabbits are still alive and the birds are still alive, the emperor of his Sima family is going to kill us! How can we be worthy of our ancestors if we sit and wait to die like this!"

Wang Shuzhi pressed his arm, his eyebrows suddenly increased, and he refused to give up half a step: "Uncle! Attacking the capital will inevitably cause heavy losses! If we retreat here, the emperor will not be able to touch us at all. Why not take a step back and force him to deal with the Yu family?" ?”

"So what if the Yu family is dealt with? There will be Zhang and Li in the future, endlessly! If the dog emperor doesn't give up, he will be used by traitors forever!" Wang Yu's face was flushed with anger, and his eyes were slightly red, " I asked for the Northern Expedition, but was rejected every time. Why? Just because he was jealous! He didn't want to drive the Hu thieves out of the Central Plains, he didn't want to recover the great rivers and mountains in the north, he only wanted to deal with my meritorious ministers of the Wang family! Such an emperor wants him What's the use! I might as well do it myself!"

Sima Rong suddenly heard a buzzing in his head, his black eyes turned sharp, he bent down to pick up the inkstone on the ground, raised his hand and slammed it hard at the back of his neck.

Before Wang Yu finished speaking, he suddenly stopped, closed his eyes, and collapsed without warning, actually fainted.

With a muffled sound, the camp fell into silence. Wang Shuzhi stared dumbfounded at the inkstone held up in the air, and then turned to Sima Rong along his arms. His face was shocked for the first time, and he stared at him for a long time, unable to recover.

Wang Chongzhi was also stunned, and then hurriedly helped Wang Yu up, turned his head and glared at Sima Rong angrily: "How dare you offend me! Someone!"

"Slow!" Wang Shuzhi quickly stopped in front of Sima Rong, paused, his brows moved slightly, and suddenly laughed, "Well done! Cousin, hurry up and order the army to return to Jingzhou!"

Wang Zhongzhi's face was still full of resentment, but the most important thing was, he nodded and let go of Wang Yu and walked out.

Wang Shuzhi took the inkstone down, held Sima Rong's hand by the way, turned to look at him, didn't know what to say for a moment, licked his lips, couldn't stop smiling, held his face and pecked at his lips Take a sip.

Sima Rong hastily retreated half a step, not out of embarrassment, but an inexplicable sense of guilt in his heart. His blow was purely selfish.

"Alas... If you really can't be reasonable when dealing with rough people, Yan Qing's method is still effective, but this attack is too cruel." Wang Shuzhi finished with a smile, and looked at his dark eyes, but he couldn't see any joy, anger, sorrow or joy. .

Sima Rong nodded as a tacit consent: "The Prime Minister can rest assured now, but after Da Sima wakes up, I'm afraid it will take a lot of energy."

"It's okay, it's not wise to change the military order repeatedly. If you try it again, the chief minister will compromise." After Wang Shuzhi finished speaking, he saw him shaking slightly, his face changed, he hurriedly supported him, raised his hand and pressed his arm forehead, immediately pulled him to sit aside, picked up the ginger soup and tasted it, "It's still hot, drink it soon."

Sima Rong nodded, took it and drank it.

Wang Shuzhi saw that his lips were sticking to the place he just touched, and his eyes were dark.

After drinking the ginger soup, Wang Zhongzhi lifted the curtain and entered: "It's raining outside, so don't worry about returning to Jingzhou. I have ordered them to suspend camping and rest for a night. In other words, you don't want to go back to Beijing for the time being. I will send someone to go back to Jingzhou tomorrow." The emperor sent a message."

"Okay." Wang Shuzhi nodded, "Are there any spare tents?"

"Yes, one was just vacated next to him." Wang Zhongzhi glanced at Sima Rong after he finished speaking, and seeing how highly valued Wang Shuzhi looked at him, he suppressed his anger and said coldly, "You should also discipline your subordinates. There is no light or weight, no dignity."

"Thank you cousin, but Yan Qing is just a stopgap measure." Wang Shuzhi smiled, and picked up the dry loose clothes beside him, "Yan Qing, you look bad, follow me to the camp, change your clothes and rest for a while."

"Yes." Sima Rong stood up, bowed his hands to Wang Zhongzhi, and gave him a vague look, still feeling uncomfortable in his heart.
